Each month, I am going to pick one entry from the Oxford Companion to Spirits & Cocktails that I feel is the most interesting. This month, I will be choosing from letters A-C.
I do not know why this entry tickled me so much but I just love the idea that far gets added to a spirit and that there is a fancy French word for it. Just fantastic. Also, I do need to learn how to gently wash a cocktail glass with a touch of absinthe before adding the cocktail.
